Yes, there are quite a few deal hunters and small contractors in the Twin Cities area. It's best not to hold your breath on anything you see posted here. You might find something by chance. But it's not worth your time traveling to each of the stores because there seems to pretty strict control...

I'll take one pm me with details please.

deer god... well at least if you have any real building projects you wont run out of supplies

I was able to use a HF coupon for a $245 item and came up with a discount of $49 off, the cashier told me that there is a threshold for discounts. If a cashier discounts a regular item for a coupon or promotion and the total discount is over $49.99, they have to have a store manager come and...

Fair is fair, you had already paid for the item and had a receipt for your merchandise. If that's what the pricing system rang it up as - that's not your fault as the customer, you don't set the prices. I would have told her to eat dirt too. BTW Menards is running the 11% rebate on...

The conversations get to be a bit of a psychological game. But that is the hard part for both employees and customers. Everyone wants a deal.

I meant to buy a beverage to take my mind off of the solar burn from the employee. C'est la vie

Looks like someone must not do the grocery shopping. Occasionally Menards does have better pricing on candy, but I agree I wouldn't go there specifically for food.

Haha, I was going for the share a coke mini-fridges and free popcorn up near the registers.

Okay, more like strongly worded, angry tone about not having clearance, not price matching, not price adjusting etc. I'm not going to fight with a 6'1' 370lb+ bald annoyed guy.

Stopped by 6 stores in the MN area. Purchased 14 pairs of cheap gloves for $4.00, 1 bostitch cap nailer for $48, 1 3 1/2 In Porter Nailer for $83, and 1 M12 Screwdriver set for $70. Was a crapshoot in terms of dealing with store employees. Had one nice guy help me in the pro section at one...

It's just the employees in your area. Locally, the HD employees near me are not happy about anything that isn't full retail price. I was once told by employee that "we aren't all the same, Home Depot is like separate companies".

Will he close that deal?! lol.

Agree, local stores in MN tend not to discount anything of real use. I've been to about 10 different HD stores in the last month. Very little reason to come to HD around here unless you are looking for something at retail pricing.

Local HD stores in the Twin Cities seem to almost never have any substantial clearance deals. Yesterday I was able to purchase the older 2695-24 Milwaukee 4 Tool set (the one that has the compact drill instead) for $100.30. One store had clearanced out their stock while another still had 2-3...
